An apparatus for detecting excessive output power from a cellular radio telephone system booster includes input circuitry for receiving incoming radio frequency signals from a mobile source. Amplifiers are provided for amplifying the radio frequency signals either directly or by means of intermediate frequency channels. The output power amplifiers have variable gain. Circuitry detects when the transmitted radio frequency signals exceed a predetermine threshold and reduce the amplifier gain accordingly.
